These are the steps to try out MATE:
- Run Wireshark and check if the plugin is installed correct (MATE should appear in Help→About→Plugins)
- Get a configuration file e.g., tcp.mate (see Mate/Examples for more) and place it somewhere on your harddisk.
- Go to Preferences→Protocols→MATE and set the config filename to the file you want to use (you don’t have to restart Wireshark)
-
Load a corresponding capture file (e.g.,
http.cap) and see if MATE
has added some new display filter fields, something like:
mate tcp_pdu:1→tcp_ses:1or, at prompt:path_to/wireshark -o "mate.config: tcp.mate" -r http.cap.
If anything went well, your packet details might look something like this:
